Monday - Clear, and warm, but still snowy

A not very good day.

I was having my usual nice quiet morning when F came home and ruined it all. He was angry about his co-workers and took it out on me. Then he started to ask me the name of the hotels we’re supposed to stay in next month on our trip. I told him. Then he wanted to know the name of the hotel that I was planning to stay in when I stay on. I didn’t want to tell him. I know it sounds silly, but I was planning to give him the details later. I didn’t know why he was interrogating me about it in the middle of the day. Anyway, I didn’t tell him so he told me to cancel the whole trip and that he won’t come with me like we planned. Great. I didn’t cancel my part of it however.

He left and I got on with my day. I showered and then went and dug out the vacuum and went over much of the apartment, and the heater too. He came back for lunch when I was finishing up. He didn’t talk to me.

After he left, I emptied out a drawer in the kitchen and packed some of it and threw out some of the stuff. We had stuff from years ago that needed to be garbaged. When I finished there I went over to my desk and sorted through a lot of papers and threw a bunch out there too.

After watching the news I washed the dishes quickly and then went outside and did a bit of snow shovelling in our spot. I think I made things better.

F didn’t come home for ages. I didn’t know why. When he did come home I asked if I should make dinner for us but he said no. I made myself some pasta and then ate. When I finished doing my dishes I think he went into the kitchen and made something very smelly. Yuck.

While he did that, I worked on the membership cull of an email group that I take care of. It took a long time, but since F wasn’t talking to me, it wasn’t a waste of my time. Oh, I forgot. I also took a short nap. I was so sleepy. When I’m upset like I am today, I often get so tired.

Anyway, I finished the first part of my culling, and sent a message to my co-moderator asking her to help with the next part.

And, that’s about it. It was a quiet day for the most part, but not a very good day.

Come back later if you are up for it and see what I get up to on Tuesday. Until tomorrow….

As I read this book I had a couple of thoughts....She was very racist, although she would probably not have realized so as a product of her time. The other thought was how little things have changed in Japan since her travels! Oh, of cou...

I enjoyed this group of short stories. The first one is the best by a longshot, but the others have interesting ideas. Be aware that there is a lot of sex in the last short story and it is quite graphic.
I would be interested in reading...
